Seems the whole damn Jeff. Parish Council is pissing in their pants; and the Yenni Building smells like a pigsty. Similar reports come from the Parish’s District Attorney’s office and other government locations.

Found it fairly amusing that one of the counts in the indictment (page 39) deals with Mr. Mouton taking a helicopter ride courtesy of RB.
Do you think he landed atop 2000 Belle Chase to pick-up guests?

Freakin pardon me if I disagree over the ‘ by the balls’ statement IMHO. But filing a 44 page indictment with an unnamed c0-conspirator A , acronyms for company names and on a Friday just when mardi gras is starting is ‘ tickling their feet’ and trying to bury the indictment story. Man it looks like the indictment is protecting the personal names and companies of the Bircher fockers family from public embarrassment and further adverse scrutiny by a preoccupied public.

I don’t know if anyone remembers it, but the name “Henry Mouton” was revealed by “nowdoucit” on SLABBED on February 10, 2011, along with some other “interesting” and “not so interesting” names, all of which appeared in attachments to the Federal search warrant served on River Birch. At the time, the name “Henry Mouton” meant nothing to me. I wonder how Mouton’s indictment is going to affect what Berrigan does with the pending motions she still hasn’t ruled on. Ashton O’Dwyer a/k/a “The WHITE Henry Glover”.

Unslabbed, et al –
I too did a bit of research on both louisiana & Nevada Sec. of State sites.
as well as some Google Name searches for both Robert Pigott and the oddly spelled Lenard S Pigott. Robert is the only named “officer” of the Sunny Day, LLC registered in Nevada. No Robert Pigott living in Nevada found.
Lenard S Pigott , the louisiana Agent of Service for aformentioned Nevada LLC; has a 1194 YORKTOWN DRIVE SLIDELL, LA 70461 address. Oddly enough the Lenard S Pigott, Jr who some Google searching found lives at that same address; aparently has a Robert Pigott using the 1194 Yorktown address too!
Another search of Louisiana Sec. of State by name found the oddly spelled Lenard S Pigott (sans Jr.) as the president, director and agent of Sunny Day Construction, Inc. , until closed in September of 2006.
Lenard S Pigott also was found as director & Agent of the former New Orleans domiciled: AABCO Wrecking & Clearing, INC, and president of the Slidell domiciled former METRO SALVAGE, INC .

Sure looks to me like a Slidell guy named Pigott went to a lot of Los Vegas trouble to conceal dealin’ with Wade Scott & Killona Ventures. He’s got lots of addresses too!

I’m going to do some more searches – by address! Y’all enjoy in the nonce!

The most ineresting stuff came up searching La. Sec. of States Corp database. Searched on Lenard Pigott’s agent for Sunny Day Construction ,Inc. Agent is Attorney Leroy A. Hartley.
I reccommend that name search to Jim Letten for sure.

Some of the other individuals and organizations that Mr Hartley did a lot of “Agenting” for makes the interest. I suppose he was the “go to guy” for some folks wanting a layer of “corporate insulation”.

Rhea Davis not Brett is the behind the scenes republican party guy connected to reflex thru charle buckles. Rhea and Charlie have a consulting service together. Google rhett’s name and you get some interesting stuff.

And so per above Clark Heebe and Brett Davis are both in COASTAL CLEANUP, LLC together.

*************

As to Rhett Davis, he *was* GOP state party chairman, though not for sure how long at least around 1996. He was later Louisiana Republican Party Executive Director, around 1997.

12/11/08 TP: “Cao arrived in the nation’s capital on a damp, nearly balmy December day, accompanied by Ruth Sherlock, a GOP consultant from South Carolina who helped put together his winning campaign, and Rhett Davis , a former executive director of the Louisiana Republican Party, who is from Walker.”

And then this:

“”While U.S. Rep. David Vitter was leading opposition to a new American Indian casino in Louisiana in 2002, he also got political assistance that year from a group backed by a rival tribe trying to protect its casino in the state.

“”””Redflex took a more local approach. It hired a string of consultants, beginning with Bryan Wagner, a former New Orleans City Council member. The company ********wanted him to introduce Jefferson officials to its regional sales representative, Jay Specter, whom Wagner already knew from a previous effort to install traffic cameras near the ******Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. At that time, Specter was working for ATS.

A month after the Jefferson council awarded Redflex the contract, Specter was convicted in a South Carolina federal court of misappropriating $1.2 million that had been meant for construction of an insurance company call center in 2001. Redflex fired Specter when the conviction became public, but *******the parish already had awarded the company the contract****. Redflex and Jefferson officials denied any prior knowledge of Specter’s legal problems.

To help Redflex in Jefferson, Wagner contacted his friend and business associate, Julie Murphy, a longtime political consultant married to state District Judge Robert Murphy. Murphy said she met with council members *******Young, Tom Capella, Jennifer Sneed and Byron Lee. The meetings were held in the members’ individual offices under official circumstances, she said.

*******”I’m just a citizen of Jefferson Parish who is treated like any other citizen,” Murphy said. “The Jefferson Parish Council is very accessible.”

None of the council members promised her an approving vote for Redflex .

“I would have loved it if they had,” she said with a laugh.

Murphy also brought in ********Charlotte Burnell, a consultant with the local firm Strategic Planning Associates and Kenner’s chief administrative officer during the 1990s, when Parish Councilman Louis Congemi was on the City Council and later was the mayor. Burnell said she played only a minimal role in presenting the more technical aspects of Redflex ‘s system to Jefferson Parish officials.

Notwithstanding the involvement of Murphy, Wagner and Burnell, the key to Redflex winning the Jefferson contract was a conversation Young had with Chief Deputy Newell Normand of the Sheriff’s Office, Young said.

Normand countered ******the findings of the two deputies who had favored ATS. In an interview, he said the parish would not be responsible for the cameras’ technical aspects or damage caused by vandals. Under the contract, he said, that would fall on the company.

“If it were me making the decision, I would go with the best capitalized company,” Normand said. Redflex was simply larger and older than ATS, he said, and offered more stability in a long-term contract.

Normand’s opinion convinced Young. He said he consulted individually with his colleagues, an effort that led to the council’s 7-0 vote on Dec. 13 to begin negotiating with Redflex. … “””””

-4/7/07 TP

Burnell was also to get some % of the red light camera revenue.

Per a prior post here Patricia W. Lassalle is the sister of Charlotte Burnell and was JP internal auditor but went on to be Purchasing Director.

Holy Moly Tele:
Robert Murphy 24th JDC judge same as Robert Murphy of original Gautier-Murphy law firm now morphed into Houghtaling?
Gautier – Murphy located on Florida Avenue in Kenner where Aaron Broussard hung his shingle?

In the same building with Stoulig – Buckley CPAs ( Stoulig already went to prison so Aaron may want to touch base with his old friend for some prison etiquette pointers)

In all these stories in various cities basically Redflex got the chief police officer to get on board and they used him as the main prop to push the respective councils.

This story from the north may seem trivial given the nature of what was offered (if that was all) but Edmonton is quite large, the RCMP is basically the Canadian Feds, and it shows either how easy and cheap it can be in terms of luring the top cop or perhaps merely the tip of the iceberg of what actually gets paid out (i.e. we know how much it took via Wagner, Murphy, and Brunell).

So back to Julie Quinn and her son James. James Quinn was the executive director under Charlie Buckels then he went to work for governor Jindal. Well the circle is tight and these people are very very close- so right no you’ll find Julie’s son James and Charlie’s daughter Cristin together over at Bill Cassidy’s office. He the chief of staff and Cristen is the scheduler.

He was the executive director under Charlie Buckels during this time. And it appears that his mother was supportive of Redflex with key votes in the legislature. And it appears that James was very helpful and supportive. Or so it appears? And it’s been suggested that John Young and James mother have or did develop some kind of friendship after their repective divorces. And it seems that Mr. Buckles supported the alliances because didn’t we read that Mr. buckles gave a campaign contribution to Mr. Young. And didn’t your paper say at one time that Mr. Young was the key reason Redflex was there. That he was the one who lobbied and push to get it into Jefferson Parish. And am I wrong or didn’t John young appear before the legislature to give his testimony about how wonderful the program is?

Just searching for this stuff, even briefly, turns up remarkable nuggets.

here from the TJR, right off el google:

“Just as startling is the recent news that Redflex was allowed to provide its own data to help complete a parish study on the benefits of red light cameras. Now officials wonder if the integrity of the study was compromised. It wouldn

Let’s not forget to add to the equation $$$$ – Mr. Buckels (Redflex Salesman) and as the state party treasurer (in the beginning) and most currently as the Republican Party Vice Chairman (now) and on his way to Chairman (future), has the asset of the Republican Party Checkbook. PERFECT way to distribute influence ($$$$) when and where needed in exchange for votes needed to save a life (Redflex).

Look for things like direct mail pieces for certain candidate/politicians paid for by the Republican Party checkbook. It’s the way they like to do business. That way they can secure loyalty from consultants who make their living designing and dropping pieces of mail.

Perhaps campaign favors like prepaid fliers or political consultants to aid 24th JDC Judge Robert Murphy’s run for one of the La. 5th circuit court vacancies. Man if your freakin traffic sh*t is such a lifesaver and its amber light time is not corruptible then just have a educated salesman present the product comparatively to other bidders before the council. freakin kickbacks to these fockers and the focker’s family members for everything the council buys need to be stopped el pronto. U hear that gringo investigators.

Way back when I did a little sleuthing into Redflex and believe I came across various lawsuits in other areas of US and in Holland and maybe Australia where the red light timers were tampered with by Redflex just before the cameras were made operational, giving the Government an immediate and quick big bang for their bucks when people, used to say a 4-5 second light sequence, suddenly were confronted with a 3 second sequence and got shot by the ‘new and wonderful’ cameras. Thought I saw somewhere that the company got busted because someone blew the whistle on this con game.
Anyone else seen this anywhere?

Yes telemachus that’s how Redflex operates throughout the country it seems. When they entery a state they connect with people who are already in political circles who have a sphere of influece over politicians. They hit pay dirt in Louisiana. For obvious reasons first. We’re a corrupt state. But, to get lucky enough to have the state party guy as your salesman….WOW. Then to seal the deal they hired as their lobbyist none other than………..Drum role. Want to guess?

Nickel was hired directly out of college to serve as State Field Director for the successful U.S. Senate campaign for then Congressman John Breaux of Louisiana. Jim worked for Senator Breaux in Washington, DC in a number of capacities including serving as National Events Director for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chaired by Senator Breaux.

In 1991, Nickel was selected to serve as Executive Director for the Louisiana Democratic Party and coordinated successful campaigns for dozens of statewide, legislative, parish and local offices. In 1995 Nickel was elected as Chairman of the Louisiana Democratic Party. Nickel was retained in 1997 as State Director and Campaign Manager for United States Senator John Breaux.

A conspiracy to commit a crime and an attempt to commit a conspiracy are criminal acts both under state and federal law. Conspiracies are real and devised by real people; not just some concocted story to attract every cynical malcontent who suffers from some form of paranoia. What we are seeing unfold is the connecting of random dots that are slowly but surely making a graphic line of the corruptive enterprise these elected officials have pursued to satisfy their greed for money and power. Like Watergate, Whitemergate started with an innocuous crime that would appear to have no connection with what we know has transpired to date. And like Watergate, it is the arrogant attempts to stonewall and cover-up the pervasive illegal and unethical acts by those still in power that will undo them as it has already for Whitmer and Broussard. The dominos of Whitmergate are falling and no amount of lies, recently forged documents, recently destroyed documents, secret meetings, playing the blame game and/or smokescreens of deceit and confusion are going to stop the fall already in motion. The FBI and US Atty are here for the long haul; so for all you who don’t believe that fact ask yourself this question ? Did you ever think Whitmer and Broussard would have resigned within 4 months of this story breaking ?

She also actually asked the DEQ provide armed guards to prevent illegal dumping.

Landrieu wrote the EPA 2/16/07, from the face of it copying no one.

Vitter wrote Nagin and the LA DEQ on 2/28/07, cc’ing Letten. Mouton also contacted the USA office.

Mouton sends the Vitty-Cent & Landrieu letters out as a single attachment the very next day in what looks like a mass email to multiple folks, in a group (media?) or all on a contact list: so how did Mouton get them, especially the Vitty letter?

Nowdy if there was shithouse deal going one or more of the Landrieus was certainly on board IMHO. Miss Piggie, (nor her daddy or bro for that matter) are known as paradigms of honesty and if Team River Birch opened the cash spigots to close GNOL then she was certainly going to be there to feed.
